[Q] HTC Connect question - HTC One X

Hi Folks,
Let me preface my saying I dont actually own the One X. I'm actually waiting for the HTC One to come out in the next few weeks to get that. I saw that both of these phones had HTC Connect DNLA feature with select Pioneer AV receivers.
My question is is HTC Connect compatible with Google Music player? Reason I am asking is because most of my music is not stored locally on my phone but rather in Google Play cloud and played through Google Music app. Can I still use Google Music and stream to my Pioneer receiver ?

Sure, you can download Google Play Music from the Play Store.

yes of course I realize that I have Google Play Music on my current device. But what I'm referring to can be seen from the video below. You can skip ahead to about 45 seconds in.

"All you need to do is open your music player, play a song, and select menu and choose Pioneer receiver"
Is this ability there for the Google Music player?

i was wondering the same thing. I don't see it on the google player. OP or anyone else, if you've found a way to do this with google's stock player, we'd appreciate an update.

Help: Auto start music from PC after arriving home (detect phone is on network)

I was wondering if it would be posible to make my PC play music from a player or streaming site after it detects that I am home. I was thinking it would detect my phone is on my wifi network then start playing music. I tried Google but maybe I am just not using the right keywords.

You can do a lot more than just play music when you get home. Must have app for anyone with root.

[Q] How can i make my phone a audio device but with wifi.

Well long story short.
Laptop, (Dell Latitude E6510): No bluetooth.
Phone, (HTC evo 4g): Bluetooth, broken micro usb port. And no micro HDMI cable.
Headset, (Motorola S10-HD): Bluetooth
What im lookign to do is rather...odd of a request. i want to have my phone be like a wireless speaker, that works over wifi.
my question is though, is there an app? and should i expect lag in the line so to speak. (Play back delay from source to end point)
this isnt a priority its merely just a curiosity in possibility.

Just use your laptop and upload the songs to Google play.
Download Google play from the play store, and boom just stream all your music.

not lookign to stream music. looking to stream my pc audio over wifi so my phone can hear it. then i can hear the audio in my bluetooth headset.
Setup a VNC server on the computer to a VNC client on your phone via WiFi, then use your bluetooth headset on your phone as you normally would.

Google play music is really pissing me off

Like the title says.
Is there any way to have the music I have bought on the play store to be on my internal storage to be readable by other apps and devices?
I always played my music I downloaded from other places through my Xbox by just plugging my phone into it. But I uploaded my music to Google play so that it would be synced to my tablet. Now I can't do that at all without dlna (which I can't play while playing a game). There has GOT to be a workaround or something, I can't be the only one with this sort of problem......

You should be able to grab mp3s from the play store. You should also be able to strip the DRM tags with e.g. eye3d. This requires that you own the music and you'd still have to transfer it to your (emulated) sdcard.
Besides that I can recommend subsonic + dsub. It's an awesome tool to stream / play music and it can stream e.g. to a chromecast. It might be possible to use it in jukebox mode, which means you'd need a raspberry pi or alike and you could play your lib with it. But I have not yet tried that (I have a chromecast ).
Basically: If you don't know how you are going to play your music in 5 years don't buy from crippled stores. And noone known how to play songs in 5 years from now.

Thanks for trying to help. I used the play music downloader in PC and put my library on my storage. A few songs are showing up twice in my play music app, but not all. I can live with this I guess. Hopefully Google makes this easier in the future.

Google play music is crappie. I stopped using them a couple years ago. And again thank you for this app

Play Music + bluetooth

Hello. I have a 5x rooted with 7.1.1. I have just subscribed to google music. Is there a way to stop google music auto playing when connected to my car bluetooth. I use tunein radio most of the time but I have to disable the Google music app to allow tunein to play. This is inconvenient if I choose to use the Google app.
TIA

That really depends on your car's system I think. My VW doesn't automatically play yet my wife's Acura does.

Play Music issues on AW 2.0

Hi, i have a problem with Play Music app after AW 2.0 update. On 1.5 i was able to download music to my watch by selecting Play Music from watch and then "Play on wear" which showed all the albums i have on my phone or selecting Play Music from my phone and in the settings there was a Android wear section and there was "manage downloads" but neither is now available on 2.0 :/ So you can't download music to your watch anymore or is it changed and i just can't figure out how to do it now with 2.0? Please, can someone help me?
Btw, all my music are transferred by using PC from my original cd's to my phone so no albums bought from Google Play. Maybe after AW 2.0 update, downloading music to my watch only supports music bought straight from Google Play which would suck
I am very interested in this also since I use the smartwatch to listen to music directly from it with Bluetooth Headphones when I'm at the gym. If it doesn't work I won't be updating it.
Seriously guys, no one else uses Play Music to download some tracks to their Huawei Watch from phone? Why the hell it was changed in AW 2.0 since it worked so well on 1.5?

Yesterday I opened Play Music HW App.
Now it works really close to the one on the smartphone...
It is possible to stream music via wifi or to download music directly from your smartwatch. (wifi or bluetooth).
To download a song, a album or a Playlist you just need to press and hold for 1 second the icon of your selection .. .so the download will start..
I verified that if you are not charging your smartwatch it is possible that the download pauses...
This morning after charge I had the info on my smartwatch that all albums have been downloaded.. and they work without problems
It works differently now. Android Police summarized it:

Hi, searching for a solution I founded 2 options: if you use Google Play Music you have to create an account and suscribe for about 25 dollars/year and it works fine. Another option is to install Wear Media from the Play Store and it works like the old play music, you can download your music to your wacth, it also works fine. Wear Media also have the shuffle option!

Thanks for the tip!
Wear Media is an app you install both on the smartphone and on the watch? Is it free?
Cheers

Well, that's really stupid :/ I hope Google brings back the sideloading feature with later updates. I'm definitely not gonna subscribe to Play Music! I have over 200 original music cd's that i rip to my PC and then transfer to my smartphones.

Hi! Yes its free! Download it to your phone and it installs in your watch. Then in your phone you select what music you transfer to your watch.
At least there are such skilled devs that can fix what mighty Google frakked up..
